Matching gifts are unrestricted grants that a company will
give to match its employees’ charitable contributions. Grants are often
dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the
original donation. Typically, individuals must submit forms to their employer
to trigger the grant. Many companies offer matching gift programs, but the
median percentage of employee participation is under 10 percent, according to
Giving in Numbers, 2013 edition. Are you getting matching gifts for your
individual donors' contributions? If not, your organization may be leaving
money on the table. Learn what efforts you should focus on to maximize the
matching gifts that your organization can get.
